Realistically, at my age I share the same view as yourself.

I have accepted that my best days for watching my Club, the Boro, are well behind me now & I accept that situation.

My view, as you know is now about future-proofing NTFC CIC for the benefit of the younger generations of supporters that are starting out on the road & are looking to share the same wonderful experiences that we have already enjoyed.

Future-proofing requires a new Stadium concept design that can eventually hold 5000 spectators, including 2000 seats, with the ability to segregate supporters & a Main Stand (built in the West), that ideally has 2000 seats & houses all of the facilities that the new Club will ever need in the future (built to EFL standards).

This could take 30 years to achieve (as a guide), depending on the level of interest & support for the new Club in the town of Nuneaton & the wider Borough.

I think achieving Level 7/ Step 3 status in the next 10 years would be a major feat & playing at the Oval for the next 5 to 10 years must be a consideration.

As a fall-back position to the new Stadium, the Oval is a big site & could be further developed to Level 6/ Step 2 standard, if necessary.

Everything depends now on the goodwill of NBBC to sympathetically co-operate with the new Club & make a successful return to Nuneaton possible, hopefully in the next 5 years.

As I have stated on here many times, GALA FIELD is the obvious choice for a new Stadium in the town, because that site will not present highways & environmental hurdles that cannot be overcome in the Planning process.

Before the present custodians go too much further in the process, I would advise the directors to appoint a good Planning Consultant to act on their behalf & liaise with NBBC planners, ideally a practice that is known to NBBC & has worked successfully with them in the past.

It will be an amazing journey for everyone who loves our Club.

Just my thoughts!
